ALpAueH's GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

ALBAuGH's GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
Lecocq's brilliant, catchy production, "Giro.
fe Giroha," was given by the Washington
Opera Company last night to good house.
The dual part of GroAe aud Glroha was mos
artistically managed by the new prima donna,
Miss Letitia Fritch. Her bright active pre-
sentation was one of the best features of the
performance, and her vocalization was of the
best. At the beginning OF the second act Miss
Fritch's pet song, sweetheart was interpo-
lated; its rendition could hardly have been
improved on, and the thunderous applause
which greeted the finale was fairly earned;
the unanimously demanded encore was re-
sponded TO.
Miss Rose Leighton's Aurora was the best
work she has done since her connection with
the company. Miss Emma Krause was very
satisfactory as Paquita. The Don Bolero of
Walter Allen was all that could be expected
would be diiicult TO miscast him. The new
|, tenor, Charles Campbell, is well adapted to
light opera, and he makes good use Of the ad.
ditional ialseito story with which his voice Is
savagely interesting as any Moorish chief
needs 10 be, and his obigato solo in the first
act, with the quartette aud chorus accompani'
ment, was applauded to the echo. Wa ie,
Daley, and Winter, in their respective charac-
tiers, were good. The chorus work was hardly
as firm in some places as 1t might be, but ad-
While there are numerous places where the
work might be advantageously quckened,
still the performance was undoubtedly the best
yet gwen by the company.
NEW NATIONAL THEATER.
"Nanon" is the continuing attraction for this
week and the public fully appreciates the ex-
cellent manner in W hich this charming opera
Is produced. Last nights representation was
and satisfactory as the most critical could DE
sire, and the audience testified to this by
warmly aPplauding the continuously, good
nlnaginQ
the qualify of her vocal work has improved
materially. Miss Donhoifs Ninon dc u L'Encos
Is correct and her smooth % Gontralto most ic. ac,
Reillerth leaves nothing undone that is neces-
sary to successful representation. Green's
fielder and Pruette are dividing the vocal
honors ana they too improve upon acquaint-
ance, their efforts being conscientious in the
extreme. standish and Gervaise are good,
and the balance of the company works in har-
| first rate attraction.
REREAS's THEATER AND SUMNER GARDEN.
Last nights programme was a remarkably
good one Fred Barr and Viola Shelbyden in
their German sketches were good. Mr.. Charles
new songs captured the audience, and Miss
May Wepthworth's "Erminie" selections were
beautifully rendered. Barney Reynoldss
medeys, songs and dances OF Fannie Blood
good and Allie Smith were good. William Mul.

HARRls's BlJOu THRATER.
Agood house and lots of enthusiasm greeted
The Boy Tramp" last night The standard oi
acting was considerably above the merit of the
| text, which is hardly Of the highest order.
| The work, as produced, Is sensational and in.
| clined TO sanguinary situations, there being
| numerous sudden deaths in each act and sew,
| eral marvellous escapes from seemingly mex
| tricable situations. Madame Neuville and heI
| son AugustiD were the stars of the company
| and their acting was good. Mrs Charles
| Howard, and Messrs. A. W, Fremont and A. l.
| Scott were thorough i'll their impersonations
| and secured well-earned applause.
